### REPLICATION DO-FILES, SCRIPTS AND DATA ###

This dataverse contains the do-files scripts and some of the data used to conduct the social and meteorological analyses in the article. 

The directory for the meteorological analysis is divided into two parts:

Part 1: running the regression analyses of UN aid using the do-file "undisasteraid_final.do" and dataset "undisasteraid_final_forrep.dta"
Part 2: running the out of sample predictions using the do-file "OOS_evaluations_final.do" and dataset "undisasteraid_final_forrep.dta"


The directory for the meteorological analysis is divided into three parts:

Part 1: obtaining the meteorological variables from ERA-Interim ("Pt1_meteorological_vars")
Part 2: validating EMDAT extremes using the meteorological variables from  ERA-Interim data ("Pt2_validation")
Part 3: calculating the yearly hazard severity index ("Pt3_yearly_hazard_severity")
